NonProfit Newspod: For the Love of Clemon Charles - Sacramento Comes Together

I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text...For decades, local musician Clemon Charles has shared his talent throughout Sacramento, frequently performing at nonprofit fundraisers, community celebrations and events, often simply because he wanted to help.Now, Clemon needs some help of his own.I’m joined by my longtime friend and KFBK personality Kitty O’Neal, who shares what happened after Clemon suffered a serious stroke earlier this year and the difficult road to recovery he and his family have faced since.Clemon has made meaningful progress, from being unable to eat, walk or communicate to now eating on his own and walking with assistance but continued rehabilitation is critical. His daughter relocated from Texas to help care for him, and his 84-year-old mother traveled from Barbados to be by his side. Kitty and a remarkable group of friends, musicians and community leaders are now bringing Sacramento together for a benefit in his honor.Wednesday, August 20Wildwood Kitchen & Bar (Pavilions Shopping Center, Sacramento)Admission is free, with live music from four performers, including Kitty and her band Skyler's Pool and numerous opportunities to contribute through merchandise, auction items and other donations. A GoFundMe and charitable giving option have also been established for those who cannot attend. This is more than a fundraiser. It’s an opportunity for a community, particularly the nonprofit community Clemon has supported for so many years, to return some of the generosity he has given so freely.I hope you’ll listen, share the episode and, if you’re able, join us in supporting Clemone and his family.GO FUND MEMiddle Way Health Foundation NonprofitListen to more of Clemon's music on Soundclound here.Thank you so much for listening to this nonprofit story!  We appreciate you.
